We know there are so many families out there who are either frequent campers - or - who love the idea of camping and just don't know where to start! Nature Play WA wanted to do something a little different, so we decided to take our Passport to An Amazing Childhood and create 10 exciting camping missions families can complete over the weekend, with some help and guidance from staff at Nature Play WA staff and staff at Wharncliffe Mill.

It is similar in the fact that there are only Nature Play WA event families staying at Wharncliffe Mill over the weekend and they are all there for the same reason as you! Camping, family, kids and having fun in nature.

While geocaching is part of this event, the geocaching mission is delivered by one of our geocaching experts, and will teach you how to use the geocaching app on your phone and how to find a some geocaches hidden around Wharncliffe Mill.

The focus of Camp Nature Play is on camping and fun, and completing some exciting missions over the weekend while getting to know other likeminded families with Nature Play WA and Wharncliffe Mill staff on hand to guide you if you get stuck or if you have any questions.

If you would like to complete the Geocaching Mission within the 10 Camping Missions, you will need a smartphone or tablet with data/access to internet and will need to download the Geocaching app. We'll give you full instructions before the event and be on hand if you any any questions throughout the weekend.

Yes! It is ideal if you can bring your own bikes, however you can hire a limited range of bikes from Wharncliffe Mill. Discuss this when you check-in or pre-book by calling them beforehand on (08) 9758 8227.

No. While there is no minimum age, children are the responsibility of their parents/guardians and must remain in their care at all times. Children who require training wheels on their bikes may not find it easy to bike on the many trails throughout Bramley National Park. Many trails are suitable for jogger strollers and children of all ages will enjoy the Wharncliffe Mill experience.

There are a range of bike options available including two tag-along bikes and toddler seats, however there are no bike trailers or small kids bikes (or any with training wheels). It is ideal to bring your own bike but there is a limited range available. Please contact Wharncliffe Mill directly for more information and booking information (08) 9758 8227.

There will be a variety of activities available from cubby building and kite making to geocaching and singing campfire songs. We will have 10 different camping missions that we are sure the whole family will love!

You do not need to stay at the camp all weekend. You are able to come and go as you please, and you are able to take part in any activity you like. Please note, most activities do require pre-registration. Prior to the event, Nature Play WA staff will contact you to book your spot in each activity.

Any time from 2pm onwards. Many people are likely to travel to Camp Nature Play after school on the Friday. Keep in mind that there is minimal light for camp set up after dark. The official program commences at 7:00pm on Friday 23 June, however, if you are unable to make it, we will have a second campfire singing session on Saturday 24 June at 7:00pm.

Bacon and egg breakfast rolls are included to kick start your day, however if these are not suitable to your dietary requirements, please bring your own alternative. You will need to provide all other meals. Bacon and Egg breakfast rolls will offered on the Saturday and Sunday morning from 7.30am to 9.00am. 'Buy Your Own' wood-fired pizza will be available by a local provider coming ONSITE to the camp on Saturday evening.

A variety of accommodation options are available to suit your needs and budget. A limited number of cabins, safari tents and dorm rooms are available. There are ample powered tent and caravan camping sites.

While the camp is not alcohol and smoke free, however, as this is a family event, we request that you drink responsibly. There are smoking areas designated within the grounds – please ensure you smoke within this section only.

Clean and well maintained - with hot showers and flushing toilets. It is an eco-camp so people are encouraged to use the solar heated showers when the sun is shining and keep all showers to a maximum of four minutes.

No, however bikes on training wheels are not able to be ridden on bush trails - very young children are better on tagalong bikes, toddler seats or walking. Jogger strollers with big wheels are usually fine on most of the bush trails. There are many other activities set up throughout the weekend to allow everyone lots of opportunities to be involved. The majority of the Geo-Challenge trail will be accessible by an easy walk.

Parental supervision is mandatory for all activities and for the entire weekend. There will be some unstructured activities like cubby building and nature crafts, but they still require parent supervision.
